Second by second

As times flowing past, second by secondAway to the past, never to returnThen a day has gone, All of those secondsOnce the time has gone, It does not returnAlways remember, Enjoy that secondWhen you remember, It will not returnMake the most of it, Use that secondSo try and live it, It can not return

About This Poem

When you are young you feel like life is going to last forever, but as you get older you start to realise that your lifetime is not infinite and every second that passes has gone for good and it's one second less you have to do the things you want to do in life! My suggestion is to get there and do those things while you can, you never know when life is going to throw a spanner in the works :(
